I heard that there is a shop in Tucson AZ that has a stock of affordable carved basses and deals with students more. Can anyone give me the number or website. This shop also mails catalogs.

Thanks

Noel

Don't forget about Steve Koscica in Phoenix.

Southwest Strings rents a carved Korean bass that is not too bad, they also sell the same model. The top on the one I tried was quite thick but it seened to be a fairly well made instrument. I did not want to have to maintain a carved bass in Arizona. The humidity going from 6% to 90% in the monsoon season would be a b*tch.
